Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Toes

Hi I broke my 2nd toe 4 weeks ago by stubbing it on a bed. I went to A&E and had an x-ray and it was confirmed broken. The doc taped it to my big toe and I was advised to do this for the next 3-4 weeks which I have done. I am a runner and was advised not to run for 6-8 weeks as I would cause a stress fracture and I have followed this advice. I am now concerned as I m now 4 weeks down the line and my toe is still very swollen and painful to walk on...is this normal? should I revisit the doc?
